Pakistani officials say a suspected U.S. drone strike has killed seven people in the country's restive northwest.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, officials said the strike occurred on the night of June 7 in the Shawal area along the border dividing the North and South Waziristan tribal agencies, near the Afghan border, which is a known stronghold for Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants

The drone strike came just two days after Nawaz Sharif was sworn in as prime minister.

Now starting a historic third term as the country's premier, Sharif has called for an end to U.S. drone attacks, saying they violate Pakistan's sovereignty.
